Complaint 125477 Details

Found a BEAUTIFUL studio apartment on Craigslist for $650 monthly - w/electric, water, and trash included - along with a covered garage, washer/dryer - and the entire place is modern - exposed brick, shiny hardwood floors. "Caitlin" and I have been emailing back and forth regarding seeing the apartment. I was required to fill out a pre-qual form via a web site link in her email. I regret filling it out - TWICE, and filling in my credit card info and SSN. The first time it failed, did it again - failed again. I emailed her saying something was wrong w/the site - "she" said that she did receive the info and that i could come see the place this weekend. Since it didn't go through on my end, it seemed a bit odd that somehow it managed to go through on "her" end.... I also have never recognized her email address "@frbomail.com" so i did some research - looked up her IP address. She claimed to be from NJ, well the IP is actually from Ohio. Found another person on this site having the same case as me from an @frbomail.com account - yet her "Caitlin" said she was from CA but her IP was also from Ohio. She posted pics of the studio apt and low and behold - it's the same exact place i was expecting to see this weekend. BEWARE - "she" writes very well and comes across as very convincing - even goes as far as mentioning that she only wants serious inquiries bc she has to get a babysitter while she shows the apartment. I guess the whole female single mom thing draws in suckers - including me. I feel absolutely sick to my stomach over all of this. I plan on contacting the authorities and switching bank accounts asap. Hope everyone catches this that needs to.
